Good to see a nice rise in the stock market. Opens up some options for planning.

So why is Buffett pulling billions out?????

Stocks are overvalued right now. Buffett knows this hence the sale. Bidenomics hasn't just gone away lol

Buffet just purchased another 10.5 million OXY the other day,,,

Question I always ask when the markets are high or low with anything, fur, crypto, stocks, etc...are the fundamentals there to support it? I dont believe the fundamentals are there for stocks at this time.

One thing for certain,,,,,

Bears got crushed this past year!!

Great year!!!!!!!!

Notice fuel prices are down , feds quit raising interest rates, inflation hasn’t cooled as they say but the super elite don’t want Trump in office. They want the USA ruined by China, illegals, and lack of not producing our own energy. People may be stupid enough to buy into this , correction many people are stupid enough to buy into this bs.

Land prices seem to be holding or continuing to accelerate here. I'm not sure what effect stock surges may have on that, any insight?

Lower rates will have a positive impact on real estate market

Fuel prices(energy) are down cuz the US is recently back too recorded production,,,,, had Biden kept going with trumps plan instead of trying too appease the green crowd. Fuel prices would of never risen and we wouldn’t of had so much pain,,,,,

Election year coming up,,,,,

The pop yesterday was from them not raising interest rates and suggesting lowering rates possibly this upcoming year,,,,,, good for folks/companies borrowing money/paying debt

Buying land usually means borrowing money,,,,,

Crypto is up because of potential ETF as well as bitcoin halving sometime in the spring.April???maybe March???

The VIX is at 12 ish,,,,,very low

Some will say the market is up due to Bidenomics.

Just enjoy the market going up. It will go down at some point.

Not everything is a reason to complain--especially our investment accounts being higher for the moment.

Yes they will say that,,,,,,

Markets are currently also benefiting from trumps tax cuts,,,,which expire in ‘25

Not sure how that’s going to play out,,,,,

But in the meantime,,,

The bottom could still fall out of it before 5:00 o'clock.

VIX had an eleven handle a few days ago. Scary !!

Thank you for the insight!

Would not trust it yet to stabilize for any great length of time yet, still have an election coming up !

The markets need to dip and gas needs to go up next year people have short memories four more years of this clown show and things will be in the drain.

In the SP 500...7 stocks(Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon.com (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Meta Platforms (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA) )make up roughly 30% of the value and almost 100% of this years returns . Cant say thats good.

Inflation is still raging at 3-4Xs what the Fed claims. And everyone knows it, including the Fed.



What likely happened was that Powell got a tap on the shoulder reminding him that the US Govt has $7 Trillion about to need refinancing; currently at much, much higher rates...
